The tragic event of September 11 has prompted the rapid growth of attention of national security and criminal analysis. In the national security world, very large volumes of data and information are generated and gathered. Much of this data and information written in different languages and stored in different locations may be seemingly unconnected. Therefore, cross-lingual semantic interoperab...

Oriental medicine has been developed over a long period of time. When the Medical Service Act was legislated in Korea in September 25, 1951 for the first time, Oriental medicine began to have the support of the legal system. Presently, Oriental medicine has the same legal status as Western medicine in Korea. Students of Oriental medicine are qualified for the National License Examinations for O...

The only route seemed to be dedicated systems for each of the languages we specialised in. Our original intention of four years ago was to purchase a more or less off the shelf system but we were frustrated by th...

With advances in the field of digitization of printed documents and several mass digitization projects underway, information retrieval and document search have emerged as key research areas. However, most of the current work in these areas is limited to English and a few oriental languages. The lack of efficient solutions for Indic scripts and languages such as Sanskrit has hampered information...

I,;rgodie IIMMs have been successfully used for modeling sentence production. llowever for some oriental languages such as Chinese, a word can consist of multiple characters without word boundary markers between adjacent words in a sentence. This makes wordsegmentation on the training and testing data necessary before ergodic ItMM can be applied as the langnage model. This paper introduces the ...

We bootstrapped Chinese WordNet with semantic domain labels of WordNet Domains for constructing a language resource called Chinese WordNet Domains. The bootstrapping methods work from three aspects: 1) Princeton WordNet alignment, 2) lexical semantic relations and 3) domain taxonomy mapping. Experimental results of our proposed bootstrapping based domain predication achieve satisfying effects. ...

Real-time character recognition in video frames has been attracting great attention from developers since scene text recognition was recognized as a new field of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) applications.
